Operational Guide
• Fold out the probe to turn the thermometer ON.
• Every time the thermometer is switched ON the LCD will
display “CAL” then “-0-”, indicating that the factory
calibration has been verified and the thermometer is ready
for measurement.
• If the battery level is too low, the “BAt” message appears
on the LCD. Replace the batteries as indicated in the battery
replacement section, and if the “BAt” warning message
is still displayed, contact your local Hanna Instruments
Office.
• For improved accuracy it is recommended to immerse the
tip of the temperature probe at least 2 cm (0.79”). Do not
exceed the maximum immersion level of 7 cm (2.76”).
The temperature value will be displayed on the LCD, allow
the reading to stabilize for a few seconds before recording
the value.
• The default power save time is 2 minutes. If the
thermometer remains in stable position for the set time,
it will enter power save mode. To exit power save mode,
